When are Apache modules loaded?
I remember that I read somewhere that some modules are loaded at the server startup, while others are loaded after a while so the startup wouldn’t slow down.
Also if the administrator wanted to load a new module at the runtime, how is that done?
I think you are referring to Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) modules. There is a lot of good info on these in the Apache Server documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/dso.html
Unfortunately, even when using DSO modules, you still have to restart the Apache server in order to load a new module. There is currently no method for loading of Apache modules while the server is running.
